ICD-10 Code D31.61 – Benign neoplasm of unspecified site of right orbit (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D31.61 – Benign neoplasm of unspecified site of right orbit
What it is
D31.61 identifies a benign, noncancerous tumor in the right orbit when the exact orbital site is not specified. Use it when the record clearly documents a benign neoplasm limited to the right eye socket.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Orbital benign tumors may be associated with a painless mass, eye prominence, or visual disturbance, but the diagnosis should be supported by imaging, examination, or pathology when available.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign neoplasm in the right orbit and does not name a more specific orbital structure. It is appropriate for confirmed right orbital lesions described as benign, including cases recorded after imaging or surgical evaluation. If laterality or site is more specific, code that detail instead.
Do not use for
Do not use D31.61 for malignant orbital tumors, inflammatory orbital disease, or lesions outside the orbit. If the chart does not confirm benign behavior or the right-sided location, check documentation.
Coding tip
Look for the exact words “benign neoplasm,” “right orbit,” and any more specific site before assigning D31.61.
